I remember how Lakas-NUCD was 
such a formidable political party several years ago. But that is just merely a memory today. One such manifestation is apparently the lack of talent within its midst that now it has to parade a thoroughly greenhorn nominee for next year’s presidential election.
Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro comes to me like a very unassuming name and one without a certain face that when the boisterous pronouncement of his nomination by Lakas came out on the morning news today, I wasn’t able to immediately put a face behind the name, despite that of course, his name had been in the current news every now and then, being defense secretary at present.
So I had to immediately surf the net and browse for his person and that was the only time I was entirely assured of his person, in name and face.
Now let me take a step backward, it seems to me that the party has some sense and wisdom after all in its selection of Mr. Teodoro for per my research, Gilbert Teodoro is actually someone who could not be faulted for wanting to aspire for the topmost position of this country. His scholarly record is impeccable, almost to a fault. He topped the bar examinations and went to Harvard for graduate studies. Definitely, we see lots of potential in this guy (to be so cliché about this) and if he becomes president, we might just as well possibly have the most intelligent president ever; although we had such a miserable experience with one. And besides, we are yet to hear anything controversial about him.
With the Noynoy bandwagon coming up so strong and so fast, Teodoro’s presidential run is at most a wild card affair.
In conclusion, Gilbert Teodoro might just be merely a face in the crowd today, but with enough effort in his campaigning, he could be the dark horse in next year’s presidential race and can give Sen. Noynoy Aquino and Sen. Manny Villar a worthy run for their money.
